Credit report: Should I remove old linked address?

Hi, 

I've recently searched my credit report using the site checkmyfile. Whilst my report raises no concerns and is in good order for a potential mortgage application (about 2 months from now), there's a section of the CheckMyFile report showing a linked address that I no longer reside at.

Whilst it is accurate that I was registered on the electoral roll at this address, I am no longer living at the address nor registered on the roll there. 

Is it worth my time and effort to ensure this linked address is removed from the records of TransUnion and Equifax that still have it in their files or should I just leave it?
